Beschreibung:
Penelope Mortimer (1918-1999) published her first novel in 1947. She was married twice; first to the Reuters journalist Charles Dimont, and later to the barrister and author, John Mortimer. Her best-known novel, the semi-autobiographical The Pumpkin Eater, was published in 1962 and made into a successful film starring Anne Bancroft. Her book Daddy's Gone A-Hunting was reissued by McNally Editions in 2022.
Perfectly capturing the tone of the 70s, and the reality faced by so many women when forced to re-assess their roles as wife and mother.
